I posted this a few days ago, but no one had anything to say. Me and my buddy Chancesawtelle want to make a deck around Army of the Damned to use at FNM. our LGS is not super competitive, we have a couple challenged guys and a bunch of kids that play there. but there are also some good player. We just want it to be an interesting deck.
What other colors would you suggest to run with black? whats the quickest way we could cheat out Army of the Damned ? The goal is like turn 3/4, coupled with things like Cemetery Reaper and Gravecrawler , Vile Rebirth maybe? What do you guys think? PLEASE leave me some suggestions. Ive never thrown down with someone to make a deck before, this will be my 1st group project.
I actually looked for a while but could not find ways to cheat sorceries into play easily. If any other color i would suggest blue but i think mono black is good enough. I suggest cards like Death Baron and Geralf's Messenger .

You could try that new tribute guy Oracle of Bones if you go red. Other than that, I'm not sure what options are available in modern.

You could try something (Grixis, maybe) with Galvanoth and scry effects. Slow, but could also open up options like Enter the Infinite .
Or you could just use one of many infinite mana combos :/

I was thinking of using the Pili-Pala combo, but i dont need that much mana lol. or maybe mono black tron type o thing?

You could use Overgrown Tomb for access to ramp like Cultivate or Farseek and accelerate into an early Crypt Ghast . If you can tap 4 lands for him and he lives you'll get the Army the next turn. Really it doesn't require green as long as you're using shocklands
I also like the Galvanoth idea. Some kind of Grixis build...Melek, Izzet Paragon seems synergistic with Galvanoth.

I Like the Idea of Crypt Ghast The idea to ramp into him Seems Very Viable for what we Are going for.

Boundless Realms is also a low green cost spell that could come after the ghast, and run on shocks. I would also put Woodland Cemetery which work well with the shock too. Pretty much look in to G/B to cheat the stuff out faster. Then you could run things like Doubling Season and his friends.

oh god, doubling season..i hadnt even thought of that.

Use Travis Woo's Combo as a shell to cheat out Army of the Damned . Basically, you dump sorceries into your graveyard via Faithless Looting , Reforge the Soul , and Wild Guess , imprint them onto Spellweaver Helix , all the while casting rituals to build up mana. Then, hardcast Army of the Damned , which triggers a second copy off of Spellweaver Helix and Pyromancer Ascension , for 26+ zombie tokens.
